Every time I get a sandwich at the deli in the food court at work, after wrapping it, they stick those little party toothpicks through it and I think: silly, what do they need those for? They're stylish enough if you want to strike a pose with one in your teeth, sure, but otherwise?

After getting a breakfast sandwich this morning, I started back toward the office and tripped! This sent my sandwich sliding several feet ahead. As I sheepishly scooped it up, I was delighted to see it was intact.

I thought for sure you were going to say, "...I tripped and POKED MY EYE WITH THE SILLY LITTLE BUGGER." But you didn't. You had a very positive message today, and that positively makes me more positive than I was prior to perusing your positively positive post.

I also thought this was leading to loss of an important appendage or eyeball, so WHEW! In NYC my lunch always came with toothpicks holding it together. Complete with the little baton of coloured film on top to...I don't know....make it pretty? I never got the gist of the little twist of film on top. Is it a secret government surveillance thing? Who knows? Or indeed, cares!

I am glad that this story did not end with a toothpick turning your eyeball into a festively decorated olive.

I'm very grateful for the little bit of colored cellophane, because it acts like those red lights at the top of an airport control tower. I am fairly certain that were it to be omitted, I'd stick a toothpick through the roof of my mouth.

She packed up and off to a motel she bought outside of town. It has the local groundhog nearby and her place is named after it. If the groundhog doesn't show one of these years, I'd check the breakfast buffet!
